About The Namba Financial Fraud: The Worst Brothers in History
Daijiro Akagi, a prodigal son who has been out of touch for three years, turns up at his father’s first anniversary memorial service and declares, ‘I’m going to buy Tsutenkaku and turn it into the Akagi family mausoleum.’ However, with no source of funds, he enlists the help of his younger brother, Kojiro—a man of cunning but little else—to raise the money. Their plan progresses steadily, but…
Directed by Hiroyuki Tsuji, The Namba Financial Fraud: The Worst Brothers in History leans on a strong ensemble — Yuji Kishimoto, Kai Kitamura, 蓮川久美 — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1997.

1962 8.5
Down-on-his-luck veteran Tsugumo Hanshirō enters the courtyard of the prosperous House of Iyi. Unemployed, and with no family, he hopes to find a place to commit seppuku—and a worthy second to deliver the coup de grâce in his suicide ritual. The senior counselor for the Iyi clan questions the ronin’s resolve and integrity, suspecting Hanshirō of seeking charity rather than an honorable end. What follows is a pair of interlocking stories which lay bare the difference between honor and respect, and promises to examine the legendary foundations of the Samurai code.
